Inside packaging inscribed with " A Gentleman. 'A Gentleman is a man who is clean inside and out; who neither looks up to the rich or down to the poor; who can lose without squealing and who can win without bragging; who is considerate of women, children and old people, who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat and who takes his share of the world, lets others have theirs.'
My Creed. 'I expect to pass through this world but once... Any good thing therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now... Let me defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.'
